What was the name of church that Queen Elizabeth I made?

Queen Elizabeth I did not establish a new church. She re-established the Church of England, which had been the official church of England before the reign of her father, Henry VIII.

Here's the breakdown:

* Henry VIII broke with the Roman Catholic Church and established the Church of England in 1534.

* Mary I (Queen Mary) attempted to restore Catholicism.

* Elizabeth I came to the throne in 1558 and restored the Church of England as the established church, but with a more moderate form of Protestantism.

The Church of England, as established by Elizabeth I, is often called the "Elizabethan Settlement". This refers to the religious compromise she enacted, seeking to balance the views of both Catholics and Protestants.
